Abstract

The helical organization of oligo-p-phenylene-based organogelators has been investigated by atomic force microscopy, circular and vibrational circular dichroism, and Raman techniques. Whilst OPPs with more than two phenyl rings in the core self-assemble into left-handed helices, that with a biphenyl core shows an inversion of the supramolecular helicity depending on the formation conditions through the atropisomerism of the biphenyl central unit. The results presented herein outline a new example of kinetically controlled modulation of supramolecular helicity.
